First, label the two equations $1$ and $2$ respectively.

$y$ $=$ $4x^2-6x$ Equation $1$

$y$ $=$ $2x$ Equation $2$

Set Equations $1$ and $2$ equal to each other.

$4x^2-6x$ $=$ $2x$

$4x^2-6x$ $-2x$ $=$ $2x$ $-2x$ Subtract $2x$ from both sides

$4x^2-8x$ $=$ $0$ Simplify

$4x(x-2)$ $=$ $0$ Factor out $4x$ from the left side

Solve for $x$

$4$ $x$ $=$ $0$

$x$ $=$ $0$

$x$ $-2$ $=$ $0$

$x$ $-2$ $+2$ $=$ $0$ $+2$

$x$ $=$ $2$

Now, substitute the value of $x$ to solve for $y$

$y$ $=$ $2$ $x$

$y$ $=$ $2$ $(0)$ $x=0$

$y$ $=$ $0$

$y$ $=$ $2$ $x$

$y$ $=$ $2$ $(2)$ $x=2$

$y$ $=$ $4$

$x=0,2; y =0,4$

First, label the two equations $1$ and $2$ respectively.

$y$ $=$ $6x-3$ Equation $1$

$y$ $=$ $x^2-8x+46$ Equation $2$

Set Equations $1$ and $2$ equal to each other.

$6x-3$ $=$ $x^2-8x+46$

$6x-3$ $-6x+3$ $=$ $x^2-8x+46$ $-6x+3$ Add $-6x+3$ to both sides

$0$ $=$ $x^2-14x+49$ Simplify

$x^2-14x+49$ $=$ $0$

Since the equation is in standard form $($ $a$ $x^2+$ $b$ $x+$ $c$ $=0)$ we can factorise using the cross method.

$x^2$ $-14$ $x+$ $49$ $=0$

To factorise, we need to find two numbers that add to $-14$ and multiply to $49$

Two $-7$ ’s fit both conditions

$-7 + (-7)$ $=$ $-14$

$-7 xx -7$ $=$ $49$

Read across to get the factors.

$(x-7)(x-7)=0$

Solve for $x$ .

$x$ $-7$ $=$ $0$

$x$ $-7$ $+7$ $=$ $0$ $+7$

$x$ $=$ $7$

Now, substitute the value of $x$ to solve for $y$

$y$ $=$ $6$ $x$ $-3$

$y$ $=$ $6$ $(7)$ $-3$ $x=7$

$y$ $=$ $42-3$

$y$ $=$ $39$

$x=7; y =39$

$x^2-4 \ color(crimson)(+x^2)$	$=$	$4-x^2 \ color(crimson)(+x^2)$	Add $x^2$ to both sides
$-4 \ color(crimson)(+x^2+x^2)$	$=$	$4 \ cancel(-x^2+x^2)$
$2x^2-4$	$=$	$4$
$2x^2-4 \ color(crimson)(-4)$	$=$	$4 \ color(crimson)(-4)$	Add $-4$ to both sides
$2x^2-8$	$=$	$0$	Factor out a $2$
$2(x^2-4)$	$=$	$0$
$2(x-2)(x+2)$	$=$	$0$	Factor using the difference of squares

$x^2 \ color(crimson)(-3x)$	$=$	$3x-2 \ color(crimson)(-3x)$	Add $-3x$ to both sides
$x^2\ color(crimson)(-3x)$	$=$	$-2 \ cancel(+3x) cancel(-3x)$
$x^2-3x$	$=$	$-2$
$x^2-3x \ color(crimson)(+2)$	$=$	$-2 \ color(crimson)(+2)$	Add $2$ to both sides
$x^2-3x+2$	$=$	$0$
$(x-2)(x-1)$	$=$	$0$	Factor

$x^2-5x-3 \ color(crimson)(+x)$	$=$	$-x-6 \ color(crimson)(+x)$	Add $x$ to both sides
$x^2-3 \ color(crimson)(-5x+x)$	$=$	$-6 \ cancel(-x) cancel(+x)$
$x^2-4x-3$	$=$	$-6$
$x^2-4x-3 \ color(crimson)(+6)$	$=$	$4 \ color(crimson)(+6)$	Add $6$ to both sides
$x^2-4x+3$	$=$	$0$
$(x-3)(x-1)$	$=$	$0$	Factor
